Description

Aldous Huxley Autograph Letter Signed"Aldous
Huxley." Two pages, 4.5" x 7", Sanary, France, September 9th,
1932. This letter was written to an unnamed woman, and it reads in
part, "I think that your idea of using the gramophone to
popularize good music is cheaply excellent. Personally, I don't
very much like Wagner's music & I hope that when you have given
his dramas you will go on to recitals of other equally inaccessible
music in the same way…why not other operas, as little accessible as
Wagner's- Don Giovanni (never I fear recorded in its entirety),
Verdi's magnificent Othello." Huxley was the author of the
acclaimed book Brave New World and many more. His works
range from the scientific to the spiritual.
The letter is in very fine condition; pencil notations are present
on the letter. From the Henry E. Luhrs Collection. Accompanied by
LOA from PSA/DNA.
